Hi,
class Foo {
submethod BUILD() {
say 42;
}
}
class Bar is Foo {
submethod BUILD() {
say 23;
}
}
my Bar $bar .= new;
I suppose this will output:
42
23
S12 says that "submethod[s] [are] called only when a method call is
dispatched directly to the current class", but the default implementation of
"new" (as given by Object), calls BUILDALL, which in turn calls all BUILDs, so
I think both BUILDs are executed. Are they?
S12 says that "[s]ubmethods are for declaring infrastructural methods that
shouldn't be inherited by subclasses". I read this "shouldn't be inherited" as
that a submethod definition of the same name in a subclass does not
overwrite/substitute the definition of the parent class. Correct?
class A { submethod blarb() { say 42 } }
class B is A { submethod blarb() { say 23 } }
B.new.blarb;
Does this only output "23"? (I think so, as I don't call A::blarb explicitly.
If I wanted to call A's blarb, I'd have to say "B.new.A::blarb", correct?)
